  2. SIGCSE 2005 Quiz – Who said ... ? Choices Are: T. J. Watson Alan Perlis Don Knuth Ada Lovelace Arthur C. Clarke Frederick Brooks Grace Hopper Albert Einstein Alan Kay Ken Olson We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil. A ship in port is safe but that's not what ships are for – sail out to see and do new things. Good judgment comes from experience; experience comes from bad judgment. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. No one knows what power lies yet undeveloped in that wiry system of mine. The best way to predict the future is to invent it. There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home. Fools ignore complexity; pragmatists suffer it; experts avoid it; geniuses remove it. I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.
